SCHOOL OF HOSPITALITY,
TOURISM, & HUMAN
SERVICES
SCHOOL OF L OGISTICS,
DISTRIBUTION, &
TRANSPORTATION
The School of Hospitality, Tourism, and
Human Services is a cluster of programs
that prepare students to pursue a variety
of career pathways in culinary arts, early
childhood education and cosmetology.
The School of Logistics, Distribution, and
Transportation is a cluster of programs
that involve the transportation of
passengers and cargo, warehousing &
storage for goods, and the supportive
activities related to modes of
transportation.
The service industry is the mainstay of
a 21st century society. In this diverse
job family, workers place people and
their needs first. Students will learn the
effective management and planning
of educational, culinary and beauty
services, as well as safety, nutrition,
health and human development.
The unique nature of these programs
brings out the entrepreneur in those who
study them and, at some point in time,
self-employment is one of the many
career paths that can be pursued.
The programs in the School of
Hospitality, Tourism, & Human Services
programs include Culinary Arts and
Hospitality, Culinary Arts and Food
Service Management, Cosmetology, and
Early Childhood Education.
Like all career and technical education,
these training programs combine
classroom instruction and hands-on
experience with the latest technology
in state-of-the-art labs. The needs of a
fast paced society require technicians
who can manage, service, maintain, and
ensure that people, materials, and goods
arrive where they need to be safely and
on time.
Advancing technologies continue to
change processes within the Logistic,
Distribution and Transportation industry.
Collision repair requires technicians to
repair and refinish damaged vehicles
to drive like new by straightening bent
bodies, removing dents, and replacing
unrepairable parts. The increasing
sophistication in the automotive
technology field requires technical,
computer, and mechanical skills to
inspect, maintain, and repair automobiles.
Logistical services manage all aspects
of the movement of goods between
producers and consumers; computerized
inventory management has improved the
efficiency of those relationships.
